When adjusting on-position, the street washing pipe should be brought down horizontally as close as possible
to the roadway. An operator should be careful, though most KPL-types are provided with support wheel in
order to prevent street washing pipe from damage. Street washing pipe should be positioned in relation to
surface to be washed so, that each water jet would meet its adjoins at a distance of 10—50 mm from it (refer
to the drawing above).
The kind of paving and surface unevenness should be taken into account as well.
It is kept in mind, that positioning the street washing pipe to high would cause washing power loss up to 50 %.

STREET WASHING UNIT
The steering angle of street washing pipe is determined by direction, where the dirt is being moved to.
The angle of 30—40º is proved to be most effective - refer to the above sketches. High pressure water
jets work as dozer blade, moving dirt and cleanings along the street washing pipe to its other end and
further aside.
Generally, it is recommended to start job from
the highest point of area to be washed.
The dirt and cleanings are to be run directly in
to the waste water channels when cleaning
narrow lanes, or ridged at the driving lane side
to be moved further at next driving and so
forth, until the whole area will be cleaned.
